When I saw the photo of "Dotsy" a wealth of memories came back to me.  Her smile was ever present whether we were at the beach campground or sitting in what we called her beauty shop.  I can picture my mom heading out the door as she was on her way to Dotsy's, and then going there myself so she could fix my hair for my wedding.  She was a special lady.  Your family will be in my prayers.   Denise
